Lynn Margulis

Natural selection eliminates and maybe maintains, but it doesn't create.

All I ask is that we compare human consciousness with spirochete ecology.

I was taught over and over again that the accumulation of random mutations led to evolutionary change - led to new species. I believed it until I looked for evidence.

All living beings, not just animals, but plants and microorganisms, perceive. To survive, an organic being must perceive - it must seek, or at least recognize, food and avoid environmental danger.

If you really want to study evolution, you've got go outside sometime, because you'll see symbiosis everywhere!

All scientists agree that evolution has occurred - that all life comes from a common ancestry, that there has been extinction, and that new taxa, new biological groups, have arisen. The question is, is natural selection enough to explain evolution? Is it the driver of evolution?
